OTHER IMPORTANT NOTICE
DOWUSD trading incurs financing cost (Rollover)
CFDs on cash stock indices are undated transactions that do not expire. For each day that a position is open, adjustments are calculated to reflect the effect of (i) financing fee, and, if necessary, (ii) dividends.
i) A daily interest adjustment is calculated for any position that is held overnight, i.e. past 16.45 of the time zone of the index. These adjustments are posted daily to the client’s account. Please note that on Fridays open positions will be adjusted for 3 days funding, covering the weekend.
Interest in respect of long positions is debited from a client’s account, and interest in respect of short positions is either credited to or debited from a client’s account.
ii) A dividend adjustment is applied to take account of the ex-dividend adjustment to the index. Dividend adjustments will apply on the eve of the ex-dividend date of the constituent members of the relevant Index. The adjustment will appear as a debit or credit cash entry in the rollover “swap”.
In most cases, if you long an Index CFD, you are credited a dividend adjustment. If you are short, you will be debited a dividend adjustment.
